Macomb native victim in Mo. murder-suicide

A Macomb native living in Maywood, Mo., was found dead Sunday in what Marion County law enforcement called an "apparent murder-suicide," according to published reports.

Kathy Jo LaVingon, 59, was born in Macomb on May 16, 1953, as written in her obituary published in Thursday's edition of The Voice.

LaVingon lived and worked in Macomb for many years, before moving to Missouri, the obituary states. She worked at Citizens National Bank and was a supervisor at Town and Country Bank in Quincy.

According to an article dated Dec. 31 in the Quincy Herald-Whig, a pathology report from Boone County indicated that LaVingon's husband, David LaVingon, 67, appeared to have been the shooter — shooting her in the chest before himself.

A motive, as of mid-week, had yet to be determined.

Funeral services for Kathy LaVingon are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Clugston-Tibbitts Funeral Home in Macomb.
